Does this image exist in true high res? : Marquee collage image
« on: September 08, 2014, 07:27:27 pm »
hey guys, and always, thanks for any advice or input im about to receive. I am building a system for a buddy of mine, and he requested that for the control panel art, I use the artwork below. Its the giant wall/collage of random marquees. But here is my problem. I found one high res version of it through google, BUT, though the image itself is a high res image, the marquee art that was used in the actual collage vary from "good" to damn near unreadable, and upon closer inspection, they overlap some, and there is just so many sloppy errors that printed on a 32x20 piece, I think it will look like garbage.  I know gameongrafix sells this very same type of artwork, but i cannot determine the quality of their version. I emailed them but still awaiting a reply. So i ask, does anyone know of some type of marquee collage art, that is truly high res? I was able to find about 80 high res marquees, and am now considering resizing them all to the same size, and aligning them in photoshop in that pattern, but thats a lot of work i dont want to do, and i can only find 80 usable marquess, as opposed to the 180 used in those images. Thank you very much for any help :)

This is the image from gameongrafix.. Its different from the ones i found online, but same idea. http://www.gameongrafix.com/products/multi-mini-marquees-control-panel-from

since you are asking for input, I think its an eyesore.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

I'm not a fan of this approach either, but if your friend demands that you go down this route, MAMELayPlus has many high-res marquees (1024 pixels wide) to chose from.

oh no gentlemen.. I hate it. Its ugly and just makes no sense.. I do all custom artwork for my machines.. to go with the actual panel. This is just what he wants, and i wont complain. Makes my life easy. Just trying to figure out the best approach to it. -

Been there, done that, bro. Tell him to pony up and order it from GameOnGraphix. Problem solved.  :cheers:

money isnt the issue.. at all for him.. in the least. He infact suggested that. Which is why i also question the quality of their work. Im sure they dont sell crap artwork, but as i said, of the few different marquee collages, they all look very sloppy for print. Im still waiting to hear back from their site, as i asked them if they made the graphic themselves using all high res marquee art.

I would just much rather have the high res artwork, so i can also change some things around, add button outlines and such.. If their artwork is perfect, and they can print the exact size, im all game for gameongrafix. Ill just print my own outlays for buttons and such and put it right over. lord knows im hoping someone just pops up with a super mint high res image of this marquee collage

As mentioned Mamylayplus has many of the marquees in 1024x x size that could then be used to make the compilation ( Link to files download ( http://mamelayplus.jimdo.com/descargas/ ) )
